I was invited to put some paintings in the Hello Kitty Hello Art book release show in New York this winter. I was honored to show work next to some great artists that were involved. All of the artwork there was amazing, paying homage to Sanrio's beloved pop characters, most notably of all, Hello Kitty. Fashion icon Betsy Johnson & curator Roger Gastman shown below.

This illustration was done for the Streetheart clothing line, featuring a bad girls sleepover as the theme. Notice the negative space that spells trouble for those who aren't in the know. The bottom picture is of a custom gold coffin belt buckle molded from a hand-lettered graphic.

Over a year in the making, this fully-functioning revitalized retro rocker is the brainchild of Tilt Warning Customs. The idea behind the Tilt Warning project was to take a retro pinball machine, disassemble it to the point it is a blank canvas, and let the artist create their own pinball game! Being a fan of pinball I was ecstatic when I got the green light to paint my own machine. Evil Mansion is a twisted, LSD inspired pinball party where you should definitely try the punch! The playfield and cabinet are hand-painted, the plastics and backglass are hand drawn and screen-printed (by Wade Krause). The custom plunger is even shaped like a sugar cube that will leave you spun out in the muck! See more at: tiltwarning.com
